Entereth

Then He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his idol? For they are saying, ‘The Lord does not see us. The Lord has abandoned the land.’”

The ones who remained fled into the city of Aphek, and the wall fell on those 27,000 remaining men.

Ben-hadad also fled and went into an inner room in the city.

Micaiah replied, “You will soon see when you go to hide yourself in an inner chamber on that day.”

If they dig down to Sheol,
from there My hand will take them;
if they climb up to heaven,
from there I will bring them down.
